For those that don't follow HMB's artblog, sounds like the resident artist isn't involved in the series at this point. http://hmbartblog.blogspot.com/2013/02/forgot-my-password.html If you're still reading here HMB, sorry to hear you're no longer working on them and thanks for what you did create. |

That is highly distressing news. It's starting to feel like this site is winding down operations. Admittedly I haven't been following the forums here very closely and I think I saw some talk of a rebirth under another name, but if artists like HMB are no longer on board, then it will certainly be poorer for it.

It does sound as though he's done with the site, but I choose to live in hope and read his answer as "I have finished my part of the creation of those two issues," rather than that he's no longer working on those series.
I speak from a state of total ignorance, of course.
EDIT: Ah, well. Now my ignorance is only near-total.

An entirely plausible reading. They could be with the colorist or letterer. At least I hope so. |

Future issues of Con 'Fused and Beyond Rubies will be from a different artist. We enjoyed working with HMB, and we wish him all the best in everything.

Rather surprising news. I wonder who will take the reigns. Someone from the existing roster, or someone new.

Beyond Rubies is awesome. I'm hoping it joins the update roster soon.

Sad to hear. Hate to say, but it was one of the best reasons I had for wanting to re-up a subscription here.

Now I'm stuck wondering WHY this happened. I don't think either side will explain, as either HMB parted on good terms or didn't and if it's the second both parties are too professional to say so.
I honestly feel a bit sorry for whoever takes over the art, they'll have some big shoes to fill and high expectations to meet.

Pretty much my take on the issue as well. |
